Merry Christmas From the United States Senate
by Jon David KahnAcross the country, families are gathering to celebrate the holidays. They will reconnect, reflect on the year past and voice their hopes and dreams for the future. At the same time, the United States Senate meets in a rare Christmas Eve session to pass legislation that, if enacted, will forever change the relationship between Americans and their government.

I will continue to keep fighting against the government attempting to increase its power, but now in the mean time, the only advice I can give is what Representative Alan Grayson gave: Don't get sick. And if you do DIE QUICKLY!!
December 24th, 2009: the day the liberals killed the freedoms God granted us. Now they will have people where they want them: on their knees…..I'd rather be dead than ever ask the government to help me.
I have said everything I can to wake people up to this grab for power.
Too many people just want a hand out.
Well this pocket is empty.. The states are broke.. The federal government is on the verge of bankruptcy. They have used the constitution as toilet paper..
You have stolen my freedom, but in the process you sold your own..
I hope we survive their final solution.
Because the true results will destroy this nation
HA! correct barbarian, we can all suck hind tit together now.
This is very bad and it should serve to show the true nature of the looters to the public.
But it is not over, this is not law.
It is up to the patriots to continue fighting. And as I have said before it is far past time we stepped up the game.
What is to be done?
Yesterday I joined the Tea Party Patriots. I will do whatever I can to oust the Dems next year. Not much hope for my district, though. We will have Dingell, Stabanow and Levin forever but if my contributins can oust just one of the lefties from another district I can rest a little easier. All we can do is contribute money and time, which I will do.
Yeah it was America.

Washington thought much the same thing about the British at one time.
Goodbye to the country and freedoms we all once knew. Even in death Ted Kennedy managed to pull this off in the Senate since Harry Reid (the mouse) said this morning this was for him. I hope that each one of these Senators has no peace from their constituents during their three week vacation.

How did Evan Bayh from Indiana vote on the health care bill?
the senate does not care wha you me or any one else thinks unless your european a union leader or openly hate America as they do what a lousy way to start off Christmas eve to learn that congress has passed healthcare deform and also raised our debt ceiling by all means when you find yourself in a hole put down the shovel and dont crank the backhoe.
They may have won the battle but, there is NO WAY we will allow them to win the war!! They wanted a fight? They will see a fight like they never imagined!!! WE WILL TAKE OUT COUNTRY BACK from these traitorous politicians!! I hope they are ready for the will of the American people! Socialists countries have live that way for so long they don't know how to fight…American have lived with our freedoms for so long that we will NEVER give them up!!
congress gets all the tits we the people get what is right behind the hind tit
I'm willing to help. If everybody does a little we can do a lot.
these are good people.. trying stop this mess

they are an ID site ..open to the public also a members site.
A toast to Christmas Past………When healthcare was an individuals responsibility, when those serving in elective office were honorable "citizen" legislators, when climate change was changing weather cycles, when all violent crimes were considered hateful crimes, when entitlement was working for what you got, when welfare was charity given by able and willing people, when multiculteralism were people immigrating legally to America with the idea of liberty and the goal of assimilating into this "new world".
Good job dipsticks. Now you are hated in all 57 states.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FORM OUR FOVORITE DEMOCRATES, A PERFECT HEALTH CARE PACKAGE! (RIGHT) LOOK THEY FORGOT THE PAPER HOW WILL WE WIPE NOW….THATS RIGHT WE GOT OVER TWO THOUSAND SHEETS OF PAPPER THAT THEY DIDN'T READ. WIPE AND FLUSH AMERICAN EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.
DON'T GIVE UP AMERICA, THE REAL CHANGE IS COMING!!!!!!! SARAH SARAH SARAH
I'M READY TO STAND AN FIGHT TOO! OUR FOUNDING FATHERS DIDN'T GIVE UP AND NEITHER WILL THE TRUE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!!!! WE NEED GOOD HONEST PEOPLE TO BE WITH US. THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE NEEDS SARAH PALINS PINK AND GREEN COLORS TO RISE UP AND JOIN US. HEAD THE MOVEMENT AND LET FIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!
Nice work, Jon! Spot on man. "This is America…isn't it?" That is the zillion dollar question, and this is shaping up to be the year when each of us is called on to answer on her behalf.
So "vote early and often", as they say in Chicago. Vote with your wallets, vote with your emails. Get on your telephones, your facebook pages, your twitter accounts.
Write your Senator, and circulate that video too. Make sure a senior sees it.
These guys are clueless.

"I can't think of a better gift that the United States Senate could give to our fellow citizens than lifting the burden of fear from their shoulders — the fear that they would not be able to have health care for their families and a loved one in a time of need,"
Hey, Sen. Dodd…Usually when someone gets a Christmas gift for someone else they buy it with their own money. Not other peoples money. And they most certainly do not use the gift recipients money to purchase the 'gift'. Usually.

Yes, this is America. Yes, we can – throw out those scurrilous rascals. Whatever it takes these evil people will not destroy our country.
I hope for the country's sake that millions see this. This should be on television. What's happening to the USA?
As a senior, this video hit me in the gut and in my heart. What the
As a senior, this video hit me in the gut and in my heart. What the Government giveth, the Government taketh away.
I hope we can stop this so my grandchildren live in the world our Founding Fathers intended.
Well, it's Christmas Eve and I'm gonna make the best of it for Jesus, my family and our Nation. The Dems have no idea what's coming to them and they will regret it for the rest of their lives. And as for the Obamas? I hope they can't sleep and this will haunt them forever.
Merry Christmas to all of you and God Bless. Hope you all make your Christmas a good one this year.
You have trouble reading? All 60 Corruptocrats voted for the bill. That is how hit passed.
Every constituent of every Senator who voted for this debacle should see this video. This vote is a collective lump of coal handed straight down from the US Senate into the hands of every American citizen
Christmas Eve, 2009. The day the progressive socialists pushed the USA down that slippery slope.
The United States House of Non-Representatives and the Senate have now both officially declared war on the American people. This was more than just flipping us the bird, they threw in a nice big "F-You" for good measure.
In the spirit of helping out with the unemployment problem we have in this country, it's time for all of us to help a number of congressmen/women and senators lose their jobs as well. I just wish we could also park a foot straight up their rear as they are on their way out.
The time draws nye for all good Patriots (especially christians) to practice real and meaningful CIVIL DISOBEDIANCE!
DO NOT SIGN UP FOR HEALTH CARE
(starve the political elite of their victory)
DISCONTINUE YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PLAN
(starve the complicit insurance companies of their profits)
STOP ALL VOLANTARY TAX WITHHOLDING FROM YOUR PAYCHECKS AND BUSINESSES
(starve the federal/state socialist governments of their life blood)
STOP REPORTING CASH TRANSACTIONS IN YOUR BUSINESSES
(turn the worthless Federal Reserve Notes into something of value while you still can)
"…MUTUALLY PLEDGE TO EACH OTHER OUR LIVES, FORTUNES AND HONOR."
(starve the political class of your ignorance by educating yourself starting with the Declaration Of Independence and U.S. Constitution)
"We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." – Ben Franklin
I pray to God that we can survive this "reform." I just wish I knew what we could do to stop this. Writing and calling your senators and other elected officals appears to not be working!! They are not listening. Tea parties have not worked either. What is left for us to do? I feel so helpless and scared. I am not even sure that voting these people out of office next year will work either. By then the damage will be done, and it appears that Republicans can be bought too as noted in Nebraska and other states with the bribes they got to vote for this bill. I am so depressed.
Stand up and make these thugs accounable.
And do what?? What does it mean to "stand up" and make them "accountable?" Seriously!! What does that mean in terms of actions we the people should take? These are just words. We need more than words now.
Christmas Eve. 2009 is the Day that many names will never enter the Book of Life. I will always remember this day as the day that the Senate passed a Bill that funds ABORTION that all American are required to pay for. How will God judge this day?
yep…
Merry Taxmas everybody!
hope everyone enjoyed the founding fathers present of freedom while it lasted!
This is off topic but very important!!!

Obama may try to use UN treaty to take guns away from every citizen while stating at the same time that he is against gun control. Be sure to read between the lines here folks. It's about denying you your second amendment rights and nothing less.
This will be the big one that could very well spark a civil war.

Merry Christmas from the US Senate?
For some reason, I don't feel all that merry. I'm feeling a tad sore, like I've just been Barracked………..
The ones voting for this are so arrogant to think that this fiasco is a "Christmas present" to us. We need to start voting these clowns out in 2010 to show them what we think of their present.
Interesting that harry reid brought up ted kennedy in his remarks … talk about milestones, on Saturday kennedy will celebrate 120 consecutive days of sobriety.
The day that "we the people" have realized the fight will be difficult and ugly on all fronts in 2010. We have finally woken up to see squatters on our land claiming it's theirs.
Wow. Very well said.
Santa may as well take the presents back up the chimney. What a blow to America. This is a strong video that truly encapsulates an emotion that we on the Right already have and those on the Left will in the very near future even if they don't already know it.
A powerful message. I often feel like this grandfather, paralyzed with that very same question: This IS America, isn't it?? With bills like this coming out of Senate, I sometimes wonder what our president’s vision for America really is…
Who knew prostitution was legal on the Federal level? I hope that 100 mil there, 300 mil here to sell out the American people was worth it. Oh well, when the south succeeds from the Nation have fun with that crap health care program Senators.
Except Nebraska
NEVER give up, Nan!! This is just one battle in a greater war that is coming. The enemy (the socialists trying to destroy this once-great nation) has simply fired-off the first salvo with this unconstitutional piece of "control legislation". Soon, THEY will be hearing from us. We are millions of voices who will not be silent. They cannot control us. Don't be depressed. Stick to your values. Keep looking forward. Get involved, even if it is in a small way, for it WILL make a difference. Never, ever, give up!!
We must have coverage for all; especially uninsured and underinsured. The one payer system option administered on a state basis is the only logical and affordable solution. 'Big Government' would have to be instrumental in allowing this to be created; private insurance exists soley for decadent profit of the billionaire companies. The public needs to wise up on this subject.
Control of our individual healthcare treatment options and decisions needs to be our responsibility; not the responsibility of doctors, and insurance companies. People need to research and make themselves knowledgeable about their health problems and treatment options. It is a simple thing to make the decision to limit diagnostic testing, refuse unnecessary tests and most prescription medications; and be very informed and cautious about any surgical interventions. Most testing and treatment is unnecessary; it is designed to make billions and not designed to heal or cure. It is surprising to me that this simple truth is largely ignored by the American public..
Somewhere along the line, BHO will undoubtably attempt this stunt.
…and my staunchly Democrat parents – both in their 80s – who have always defended Medicare, will hopefully not live to see how their support has negatively altered the future for me and my 5 siblings as we approach our 60s. Deeply saddened by the disconnect…
What a tough way to wake up this morning and every morning that follows. This video should be a series utilizing every holiday that falls at this time of year….Hanukkah, Quanza, Festivis…the works. A painful reminder that our country is slowly slipping away.
You damn skippy sister!
Yes and Food for all, and Housing for all. Because the first medicine one needs is nutrients and to be able to stay out of the cold and heat! Along with no jobs requirements because a job can add to stress. It is surprising to me that this simple truth is largely ignored by the American public..
This is Joan_Of_Hark America.
Dear Mr. President:
Why did you go on National TV and present false information this morning about the Senate passing the PPACA? Your own CBO put out 2 communications yesterday entitled: "Effects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on the Federal Budget and the Balance in the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund".
Show your integrity and transparency to the American People. You know, as these communications clearly present, that the Medicare Trust Fund WILL NOT BE EXTENDED and a DEFICIT REDUCTION achieved SIMULTANEOUSLY. I would like to know why you have KNOWINGLY presented false information to the AMERICAN PEOPLE? I am putting you on NOTICE, that I am going to CIRCULATE these comments, and both of the CBO Communications, on the INTERNET and any other media exposure I can get, to inform the American People of these knowing and willing deceitful comments you have presented to the American People on CSPAN and other broadcast media this morning, December 24, 2009 shortly before 9:00 am. I am sad that this is the best our leadership in the Senate and the Executive Branch has to offer to the American People. Regrettably, Concerned Citizen from Michigan
The Democrats have opened a can of stink that they'll never wash off. There may be some extreme reactions by citizens. This isn't the 1930's, where an uniformed, starved and broke electorate, was easily sold a bill of goods and Social Security was enacted.
Maryann Burkhart
Look's like they are goading the American people into a revolution…..it is coming….there is no choice now. We must rise up and demolish this marxist regime. No longer can we tolerate their lies and deceit. They can look us right in the eye and lie to our face and if they tell the lie long enough, they think stupid people out there will believe them. Their whole platform is based on lies because if they told the truth, their programs would not sell. All the democrats have broken their oath to uphold the Constitution encluding obama and his ilk.
WE MUST STAND UP AND VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!! Unless, of course, obama has something up his sleeve for the elections to go their way. I WONDER. WE MUST GET ON OUR KNEES AND PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!!
Freedom is our DNA! Unlike all the other countries of he world. We will fight and we will prevail!
it saddens me to think of the country i grew up compared to the country my kids will have. but i draw comfort in the words of romans 8:28
I have posted this before in other places but I think it bears repeating. Any government that can supply all of your needs can also take all you have this includes your freedom and any hope of a future.
most "unnecessary" tests are done because docs are afraid of malpractice suits for millions of dollars because of a missed diagnosis. tort reform would lower a doctors overhead expenses drastically thereby lowering the amount they have to charge just to break even. no one works to break even they work for profit in making a profit they are able to provide for themselves, and then create opportunities to others to do the same.
Bruce…Senator Bayh voted yes, just like I thought the coward would do! Are you from Indy? If so, we need to find a way to get him OUT next November!
Don't give up – States can refuse to comply with Federal laws:

Check the financials of the publicly traded health care companies. Since most liberals can't read a financial statement you will see they only net 3% profit on average.
Merry Frigging Xmas! Thanks you 60 putzes!
The Government of the United States is now nothing more than an extortion racket.

Dear Democratic Senate,
I want to thank you sirs for doing for me what I have been unable to do for ten years. You see, our small office of twelve has been divided. Not equally, eight to four to be exact, but now we are all united. We are united behind a conservative cause and our founding ideals. With the aide of you and your democratic colleages we have been liberated from the idea of liberalism. We are liberated from the cunning of the Moochers and the Looters. We recognize that we are Producers, and we will produce. We will produce victories for candidactes who speak to our conservative values. We will produce defeats for the likes of you. We will carry on the legacy of John Adams!
you been dry reided, pudlosiiesed, fawkied, and NO reach around. that's the "CHANGES" hussein has delivered.
FURTHER EVIDENCE OF WHAT AMERICA IS IS BECOMING, WE WILL TURN INTO ANOTHER FAILED SOCIALIST STATE, WE ALREADY HAVE A SOCIALIST PRESIDENT.
A lot of people are expressing frustration and anger over what is being done to us by our government.
More and more men and women of good will are coming to realize that something has to be done, and soon.
I'd like to pose the following question: What are you willing to lose for the cause of human freedom?
I've thought long and hard about it, and I know how I'd answer that question. What about you?
Let's do this.
Election rigging and gun control. THESE ARE A MUST READ!!!
OUR COUNTRY IS BEING STOLEN RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER US.
These are very dangerous times.
We each are going to have to ask the critical question… 'What am I willing to do to stop this from happening?'

The US Senate did nothing. NOT ONE senator will come after you to force you to buy insurance. They will send "Law Enforcement". THOSE are the people who will push the USA down the slippery slope. NOT the senators, foul scum though they may be. Thank your friendly neighborhood policeman for this travesty. Or curse them, as you choose.
Why doesn't Breitbart pick up on the birth issue? There's a lot out there that has some real weight.

Rhetoric aside. No more ignored faxes, email, phone calls or Tea Parties. It is time to exercise our 2nd amendment to the fullest; not only shall we have the right to bear arms, but we shall exercise our right to use those arms against the tyrannical progressive who are destroying this country. Can you hear us NOW?
This Government is offering us a gift that needs re-gifting….say, to Great Britain, Canada….
Nullification only works if "Law Enforcement" will enable it. Unfortunately, expect in isolated circumstances such as possibly Maricopa County, "Law Enforcement" is FAR more likely to support Obama and his minions than to enable nullification.
This is a powerful video. ObamaCare will do irreparable harm to America, if it gets signed into law. Good work Jon David. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all Big Government supporters and readers. 2010 will be a great year to fight Washington's march toward a bigger and bigger federal government. More Tea Parties, Town Hall Patriots and 9-12 protests in the new year. Let's take back America and do our best to dismantle the welfare state.
the arrogance of this senate majority and all they've tried to push on us in this year of Obama is revolting and tyrannical. I'm predicting that 2010 will be a year of a resergant conservative movement that makes 1994 look like small potatoes… There is going to be some hell to pay at the polls for the democrats…Read: the Nightmare before Christmas…at…

Let's get this revolution started. The sooner we eradicate Liberal Communists the sooner we can restore our Democratic Republic.
Hey Washington! Bite me!
If this is Santa's idea of a Christmas gift he must be on crack!
old sarge… i will spread these words to my friends, anything to expose a rat.
i,m so positive cops will…… wow holder will send some of his affirmative action boys after us. never mind
well said,gods speed
Jon David…yet another insightful expose' on America's fall down the slope towards socialism. Ayn Rand once said (in so many words) that the most dangerous threat to mankind is "big" government. Let's get out ahead of this snowball and melt it. Nice work.
I don't know about that. Oath Keepers membership has been swelling with law enforcement and military personnel who refuse to violate the oath they took. If we could hold the federal government to the oath they took the treason and high crimes trials would start tomorrow. Recall elections anyone? Start enough suits in the courts against each and every one of the senators and representatives to swamp them and the courts?
Come February or so, our mail boxes will start the neverending pile up of political junk mail from these same bozos, bragging about their accomplishments and requesting campaign contributions.
Right with you! It's not over yet.
Good for you! WE THE PEOPLE and grass roots will make the 'good-for-America' constitutional life happen again! It didn't change over night and it we really are making headway so be engaged and educated!

NULLIFICATION. We don't have to take this crap from Obama.
(well, I do…because I live in California!)
There is a way out.
Stop screaming at the feds. They don't care. Bring it home to your local governments.
I'll say it again. NULLIFICATION
No peace for 3 weeks after condemning America to generations of oppression is a slap on the wrist. We used to hang traitors.
Oh yes "Big Government" lets review.
1 Federal control of education starting in the 1950's. That has been double-plus good. (RE:1984)
2. Social Security The same Ponzei scheme that got Madoff jailed
3. War on Poverty Now a fourth generation living in substandard Big Govt. housing,eating Govt. cheese being paid to breed and not work. A rousing success!
Right now I DO decide on my treatment and tests.(see CRASHFIXR post on how to improve this)
Big Govt will decide your treatment, or lack of , based on how many years you have left as a tax paying citizen. It won't be a productive use of their time or resources to treat old people.
Imagine every doctor visit like a day at the DMV. A *request * for treatment will resemble an IRS audit. Your care will be decided by a faceless bureaucrat a 1000 miles away and will be based on a mathematical formula.
You are either a naive 'useful idiot ' or a cunning 'fellow traveler'
The future is a boot smashing a human face, over and over; forever (1984)
Merry Christmas
There are three purposes to this health nightmare bill. (1) to create another class dependent on the government. That will insure votes in perpetuity, and (2) to crash the American system and establish socialism if not outright communism, and (3) control over American lives. After all, it's not conservatives who have pictures of Mao on our Christmas decorations.
Sure you would.
Dumbest thing I ever heard. Too bad conservatives are more interested in giving handouts to insurance and pharmaceutical companies than actually helping everyday Americans. You're right. Go fight for the freedoms we deserve and let the rich get richer. Yay status quo!
Here you go, Conservatives. nc912american is your voice of reason and hope! Can't spell. Can't write an intelligent sentence. Blabs on about "democrates" and "papper". Best of all, apparently supports Sarah Palin, Knucklehead of the North, the "most popular governor in America" nobody ever knew (before September 2008).
go to http://www.askheritage.org/Premium.aspx and request your free copy of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence or better yet click on the option to order more then one and support the Heritage Foundation. I don't work for them but i did order 50 and I'm giving them out at Christmas parties.
